Anything for Kids

Hands up….who’s enjoying all of this lovely weather we are having? Don't get me wrong I love the nice weather but to have a little cool down I thought I would stop for a cuppa (hot drink to cool down!!! it may sound mad but it works for me) and tell you all about the special new challenge over at Paper Crafting Journey.

ANYTHING FOR KIDS GOES

So make anything but it must be for kids. Here is my card:

I’ve used a gorgeous digi from Digi Stamp Boutique. I picked this as I’m sure lot’s of little girls would love to be a ballerina. She has been coloured with a mix of ProMarkers and FlexMarkers. I’ve kept the rest of the card quite simple, with some paper from Echo Parks 6x6 pad Walk in the Park, some Kraft card, some ribbon, pearls, MS Border punch and my new favourite dies the CC Designs Phlox Flower Cutters and the CC Designs Leaf Cutters. The flowers have been cut from felt.

It would be fantastic if you could send your cards off to Send a Smile 4 Kids. They do great work and how amazing would it be to know that your card could put a smile on the face of a child? You can read more about the work which Send a Smile 4 Kids does here.

So because PCJ are linking up with SAS4K, we will be accepting back links from 19th May 2012 but only if you have entered your card into the SAS4K challenge! Lisa (our PCJ Boss Lady) will be checking.

About Me

I am married to Daniel and I am a full time Mum to Elliot and Emily. I have been a crafter without really knowing it since I was a little girl, but have expanded my talents from those early days of finger painting and playing with glitter. My main passion is card making using rubber stamps but will try my hand at most crafts. I was lucky enough to be named Papercraft Essentials Magazines 'Papercrafter of the Year 2012' and more recently Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazines 'Cardmaker of the Year 2017'. Plus I also design for some pretty awesome companies.
